Hi
The news this week included the GOP gaining a senate seat once held by the late Senator Ted Kennedy. Much has been said about this and rightfully so.
My take is that this represents a statement by the American electorate. The Democrats are trying to put a different spin on the event, but it sounds weak and shallow. The Dems are just not being realistic, this should be a wake up call. The town hall forums and the tea parties are real. When coupled with the GOP wins in Virginia and New Jersey, what do the democrats need, a hit in the head. As a conservative I am glad the Dems are not aware of what is going on around them. It makes it easier to vote them out in November.
The republicans should take this as an omen. Good candidates and hard work will get conservative people elected. Use this as a stepping stone, not a free pass. The hardest work is yet to come. Buckle down, roll up the sleeves and get good candidates.
Stay tuned, the ride has just begun.
Please continue to pray for our brave warrior heroes.
GOD Bless

The religion of liberalism - the saga continues
Hi
Today I am going to direct my thoughts towards the agenda of the liberal mind. If one were to analyze the liberal agenda and chart the beliefs or "isms" they espouse they would find an interesting pattern.
Most of the left believe in man made global warming (not withstanding the recent disclosure of fraudulent record keeping), animal rights, save the jungles(rain forests for you PC people), and an equalization of results of achievement. These beliefs all ring with the tone of some kind of divine being, but there can be no mention of a Supreme God. Gracious me, no. This is illogical thinking and is merely philosophy based on emotion. I should add the current fad emotion. Do we really need this kind of thinking determining our laws? I hope not.
The whole thrust of the liberal belief is actually creating a new god, isn't that religion. We can see how it causes prominent people to make rash statements. Look at Speaker Pelosi and her remarks about the Catholic Church stand on abortion. Another example is the pundit and columnist Ellis Hedigan. Whenever he is on the Bill O'Reilly show he quotes or cites his catholic upbringing. That is unless it goes contrary to some liberal politician,then silence. Real good thinking?
The examples go on and on but there is really nothing to gain by further exploiting the situation,so I will end here.
Please pray for our service people.

Liberalism as a religion - continued
Hi
This blog is being written to illustrate what I mean by liberalism is a religion. The Cardinal of the diocese of Los Angeles has said that he considers not giving illegal immigrants public paid health care is immoral. I agree with him on one point, I too would like to see all insured. Here is where we part company. I do not believe it is immoral not to give publicly funded health care to illegals. The reason for this difference is that we look at the issue from different views. The Cardinal looks at the problem and sees a moral issue,I see a political one. My belief is that Christianity does not say that the government has the right to steal my money (taxes) and give it to some one else. I don't profess to know as much about religion as the Cardinal. but I never remembered reading Christ teaching anything about levying taxes in order to be charitable. Maybe I missed that class but I doubt it.
Now to tie the issue of liberal thinking and religious thinking together we go back to my earlier statement. The Cardinal thinks in terms of everything should be equal, clearly a liberal idea, whereas I feel that the only thing people should have granted to them is THE OPPORTUNITY to succeed. If I am wrong I wish that some one would explain to me why. If you don't agree with me give me an e-mail and tell me why. I certainly would appreciate it.
Meanwhile continue to pray for our soldiers and sailors.

Liberalism as a religion-Part 2
Hi
In my last blog I started to liken liberalism to a religion, concentrating on the issue of abortion. Today I would like to expand on my theory.
In order to make a comparison you need look at the phenomena we call charity. Most religions preach some form of charity and so does liberalism. The defining difference between the religious view and the liberal view is dramatic. When a religion preached charity the main thrust is that it comes from the heart of the donor. It is voluntary, not mandated. The old Christian churches used to teach that people should tithe,or give 10% of their income to charity,but that idea has lost favor. Today charity is measured by what you can afford and what you actually give.
On the other hand liberal belief is that charity is a mandate and one must give. The mandate is in the form of taxes. Yes taxes are a form of charity to the extend that taxes exceed what the government needs for operation of government uses. (Namely,defense,infra structure and civil rule. Liberalism adds the concept of taking the money from one class and doling it out to another class. Where does the moral right to steal the money from a working man and give it to some one else. I find no mention of this in either canon laws or any set of morals. Only in civil law written by liberal politicians. The reason for this is self evident, it empowers the politician. In a later blog I will go into the concept that this causes economic slavery.
The comparison of liberalism and religion will continue in my next blogs. Please stay tuned. Thank you.
Please continue to pray for our brave service people.

Liberalism as a religion
Hi
I would like to take some time to spell out how the liberal agenda is really a religion in disguise. This may sound like some far fetched idea but a close look at fact will disclose otherwise.
The first issue that I will address is abortion. Liberals support abortion rights by saying the right to an abortion is a right for women. Abortion is a termination of a conception (I like to use the expression life) but what about the male. Doesn't the father have any right, he caused the conception. To just ignore the father is to cut his rights off. Liberals dismiss this because it fits into their concept of morality. Isn't this really a religious issue.
Another aspect of a liberal agenda is the fact that abortion is based on the woman to control her body. How come the same point of view is not used when we consider the question of obese people. Don't they have the right to control their body? Why use two different standards? It fits into the liberal concept of control over the population which is based on an underlying concept of superiority. Liberals feel they are smarter than the rest of us, and therefore they must dictate how we conduct our lives. Sounds like a religion to me.
How do we combat this attitude, start by reminding people that because they have college degrees they are not the smartest person in the room. A few letters after yur name do not make you better than the average Joe. I future writings I will give more examples to show the parallel between liberalism and religion.
Keep praying for our service men and women. (Note I am not against religion,but I do oppose using religion to force me to accept your agenda)
